Timeline

1951

Coral Bracho (born 1951 in Mexico City) is a Mexican poet, translator, and doctor of Literature.

Coral Bracho was born in Mexico City in 1951.

1977

She has published six books of poems: Peces de piel Fugaz [Fish of Fleeting Skin] (1977), El ser que va a morir [The Being that is Going to Die] (1981), Tierra de entraña ardiente [Earth of Burning Entrails] (in collaboration with the painter Irma Palacios, 1992), La voluntad del ámbar [The Will of Amber] (1998), Ese espacio, ese jardín [That Space, That Garden] (2003), and Cuarto de hotel (2007).

1981

Bracho is winner of the Aguascalientes National Poetry Prize in 1981 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2000.

"Poetry may be the most immediately sensuous literary form, but its language tends to substitute for touch rather than enact it. To place the body in close relation with other bodies and objects involves an unsettling of the self within a larger passage from identities to intimacies. Coral Bracho stunned readers in Mexico by doing just this in her 1981 collection El ser que va a morir (Being toward Death), parts of which appear in Firefly Under the Tongue: Selected Poems of Coral Bracho, beautifully translated by Forrest Gander. In "Being toward Death," Bracho combines a quiet inwardness that is also a vulnerable openness: “(—Children trace their liquid howl on the bark, / as a vegetal ghost) // —The flames lick-out from the night, from its long roots. / —Its fluid / roundness, its coming to be / —From what I drink, what I touch.” In this poetic speaking, mouths and hands synonymously approach a densely textured materiality.

Although Bracho frequently mentions death in her poems, nothing ever quite dies in them—rather, it takes on a different life and shape: “One blink is the dream, / another is death singing / with undisguised tenderness.” Bracho's frequent use of parentheses in earlier poems and broken narratives in later ones signal not so much interruptions as shifts.

Similarly, her writing has moved over the course of nearly three decades from a spatially fluid tactility to a crystalline attention to objects in time.

1994

Coral Bracho is also a translator of poetry and has been a member of the Sistema Nacional de Creadores since 1994.

1996

A selection from her first two collections was included in the definitive anthology of contemporary neo-baroque writing from Latin America, Medusario (1996), edited by Roberto Echavarren, José Koser and Jacobo Sefamí.

Like many of the writers who operate in this line that runs from Luis de Góngora through José Lezama Lima, Bracho's early poems marry verbal luxuriance with a keen intelligence and awareness of artistic process.

Yet that artistic consciousness doesn't lose sight of world.

1998

A poem from 1998's The Disposition of Amber reads in its entirety: “The posture of the trees, / as gesture, / is momental.” A later book, the long poem That Space, That Garden, synthesizes previous relational modes.

As with other excerpts in the collection, one wishes there were more.

Recent writing in Firefly under the Tongue limns experiences of bliss with a sense of mortality.

But Bracho has always had the ability to make happiness seem slightly dangerous, as her poetry doesn't so much speak the unspeakable as voice its constant and quavering proximity." --Alan Gilbert, The Boston Review

Her poems have appeared in:

Bracho has had several books published collecting her works

Bracho's poems are also included in several anthologies.

2004

She received the 2004 Xavier Villaurrutia Award for her book, Ese Espacio, Ese Jardin. She is a member of the Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte (National Artists’ Center), and in 2007 she was awarded the award “Programa de Aliento a la Obra Literaria de la Fundación para las Letras Mexicanas” in recognition of her work.

That conceptual clarity is exercised further in Ese espacio, ese jardín, an extended meditation on the passage of time and the death at the heart of all life, which was awarded the Xavier Villaurrutia Prize in 2004.

2005

Her poems were translated for the Poetry Translation Centre's 2005 World Poets' Tour by Tom Boll and the poet Katherine Pierpoint.

When she visited London in 2005 she described the way that her tour-de-force ‘Agua de bordes lúbricos' [Water of Jellyfish] operates: ‘It tries to get close to the movement of water' with images that are ‘fleeting'; ‘you can't grasp them, they are very fluid.

What remains is that continuity of water.'

The poems of La voluntad del ámbar introduce more autobiographical content.

Both ‘Trazo del tiempo' [Marks of Time] and ‘Detrás de la cortina' [Behind the Curtain] recount direct memories of childhood.

They also tend to rein in the long lines of the earlier collections, replacing fluid syntax with what Julio Trujillo has described as a versification that ‘no es, al cabo, una cuestión meramente rítmica sino casi silogística: el movimiento es conceptual, se pasa de una deducción a otra' [isn't, in the end, merely rhythmical but syllogistic; the movement is conceptual, it passes from one deduction to another].

2008

New Directions, New York, has published two influential volumes of translations of Bracho's work, Firefly under the Tongue (2008) and It Must Be a Misunderstanding, both translated by poet Forrest Gander.

“These poems are incandescent, submerged, sensate, intelligent in the way the universe is intelligent, at once cosmic and intimate.

Coral Bracho creates a space so charmed and charged I never wanted to leave it.”—Carole Maso
